There's always room for buckeyes

I've had a fairly productive couple of days, though I don't have as much to show for it as I thought I would. Partly it's because a lot of time was spent thinking and planning, which is remarkably hard to photograph, and there was a lot of cutting as well, which is boring to photograph. (Stacks of triangles? Three and half inch strips? Your eyes would be glazing.)

I did get a couple of Buckeye Beauties thrown together, as you may have guessed from the title of the post.

And a nice green Jacks to add to the stack.

And there was a kaleidoscope, of course.

As well as another kaleidoscope.

I think I have one more cut out and sitting next to the sewing machine, though I admit I may have lost track at this point. I get on such a roll when I first start assembling strips for these that I never know how many I'm going to end up with. It's a good thing Angela changes the color each month, or I'd never be able to stop. At least picking strips of the new color slows me down for a bit...

And piglets continue to turn up.

(Still not hamburger buns, Cathy. Sorry.)

It seems like there was something else, but I can't quite remember what it was. It's right on the tip of my brain...

Well you definitively have a green thumb because everything is so yummy. Love the first kali block. I know the centre part is made with two different fabrics and yet, it tries to tell my brain there is only one. Love it! I also love the lumberjack piglet. Too cute! (You do realize it's barbecue season? Just checking.) Happy to hear you didn't hurt yourself stumbling on those logs on the floor. lol. Great green job. Enjoy! ;^)

You've had a very productive time! I like the Buckeye pattern there would be lords of ways for setting a heap of these blocks wouldn't there I guess. Lovely little piglets again this week and it seems there's lots of us busy sewing up kaleidoscope blocks.
